What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies can also be used to measure website activity and deliver targeted advertising.

We use the following categories of cookies on XenifyX. Some are set by us (first-party), and others are set by trusted third-party services (third-party cookies).
